Answer: 1.75 square feet

This converts to the improper fraction 7/4

======================================================

Work Shown:

3/4 = 0.75

area of triangle on the left = base*height/2 = 0.75*2/2 = 0.75 sq ft

area of triangle on the right = base*height/2 = 1*2/2 = 1 sq ft

total area = 0.75+1 = 1.75 sq ft

This converts to the improper fraction 7/4 because

1.75 = 1 + 0.75

1.75 = 1 + 3/4

1.75 = 4/4 + 3/4

1.75 = (4+3)/4

1.75 = 7/4
